Audio from the recent webinar Pulmonary Embolism Decoded: Dissecting Myths with Evidence presented by the PERT Trainee Council on June 23, 2026.

Audio from recent webinar, sponsored by Angiodynamics.  This webinar focuses on optimizing the overall efficiency of the thrombectomy procedure for pulmonary embolism (PE), with an emphasis on the AlphaVac Mechanical Thrombectomy System. Experts will explore strategies for managing blood loss during the procedure, improving patient outcomes, and streamlining workflow for faster, more effective treatment. The session will highlight how the AlphaVac system can enhance these aspects, leading to better recovery and more efficient clinical practices in PE management. Featuring the following speakers: Dr. Sabah Butty  Dr. Peter Monteleone Dr. Brian Stegman

Audio from the recent PERT webinar.  In this virtual program, a multidisciplinary panel of leaders in pulmonary embolism will examine the results and real-world impact of the recent HI-PEITHO data release. This multi-country, multi-center landmark RCT was designed and conducted in partnership between society, industry, and academia to achieve impactful results through robust study design and large patient population to address the biggest questions in pulmonary embolism care today.

Join us for a discussion with Soophia Naydenov and Melissa Korn, Deputy Bureau Chief of Media at the Wall Street Journal as she describes her experience with pulmonary embolism, post-spinal surgery.

In this episode, PERT President-Elect Dr. Mahir Elder and PERT Past-President Dr. Robert Lookstein, discuss the STORM-PE trial, from its inception to its impact on the field of pulmonary embolism.

In this episode, a multidisciplinary panel of PE experts take learners on a deep dive into Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT). Listen as they cover the latest in DVT diagnosis and treatment, exploring both clinical considerations and ever-evolving approaches.

Tune in to this episode of PERTCast to hear Dr. Rachel Rosovsky (PERT Past President) and Brian Shensky (Database Developer and Analysis) explore The PERT Consortium® PERC Database, from onboarding to benchmarking and optimal care.

In this episode, Drs. Vivian Bishay, Wissam Jaber and Dr. Vlad Lakhter review safety, patient selection, and risk stratification related to device selection. They examine the economics of outcomes in PE treatment, including workflow efficiency and the impact of avoiding post-procedure infusion and ICU resource use. Discussion ensues on the role of treatment location, ease of use, and how broader access to technology may influence care delivery.

Join us for an exclusive look inside The PERT Consortium® as President Dr. John Moriarty and incoming President Dr. Mahir Elder sat down with Communications Committee Chair Dr. James Horowitz. From their personal journeys into leadership, to The Consortium's most impactful initiatives, this episode uncovers the bold vision driving the future of PE care. Get ready to hear how these visionary leaders are setting the stage for innovation, collaboration, and life-saving breakthroughs.

In this episode, we explore considerations in mechanical thrombectomy for pulmonary embolism, with particular emphasis on determining appropriate endpoints for concluding a procedure and the critical role of time and procedural efficiency. Key takeaways cover optimizing procedure duration, achieving meaningful reductions in pulmonary artery pressure and clot burden, and employing strategies to minimize or prevent blood loss throughout the intervention.

In this episode, a multidisciplinary panel of PE key opinion leaders share insights and challenge perceived myths within the landscape of PE real world evidence and care. Listen in for the latest data, contemporary treatment strategies, and preview anticipated future developments in this rapidly evolving field of PE.

In this episode of PERTcast, Trainee Council members present compelling cases, discuss their PERT volunteer experience, and encourage residents and fellows to get involved given the many benefits of doing so.
